A Happy and Peace-Full New Year

Dear Peace Friends -- With the New Year starting on Thursday schedules have been thrown off so we are NOT able to meet this Thursday. We plan to resume regular meetings in February. (NOTE: this cessation does not affect committee meetings.) In lieu of our monthly member meeting. however, we are urging our members to continue their personal peace work this month and also to attend the Sunday, Jan. 11th Interfaith Service to End Torture at 3 p.m. at the Community Church on East 35th Street, just off of Park Avenue. This event is sponsored by the Metro NY Religious Campaign Against Torture and the event flyer is available at their site and by clicking here.

Happiness and peace in the New Year -- and always. Thank you for whatever you do for peace and justice.
